Mutational Biases Influence Parallel Adaptation.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Sept 2017

Stoltzfus Arlin, McCandlish David M

Abstract excerpt

While mutational biases strongly influence neutral molecular evolution, the role of mutational biases in shaping the course of adaptation is less clear. Here we consider the frequency of transitions relative to transversions among adaptive substitutions. Because mutation rates for transitions are higher than those for transversions, if mutational biases influence the dynamics of adaptation, then transitions...
